Greenman Rising is a folk band based in the English Midlands. They make music that doesn’t stand on ceremony; what you will get is the hardcore tradition for modern audiences. Driving dance tunes, songs about love, war, murder and betrayal. The soldier who rebels against an invasion and the sailor cheated when he comes on shore. Beautiful ballads and full-on musical madness that’ll get you dancing the night away. “… from the drive of Steve Bentley’s percussion to the honeyed voice and thrilling fiddle of Jen Waghorne. Then add in songs from the other band members and traditional tunes and shanties that have the audience roaring back the refrain and a good time is guaranteed.” (Tony Birch, FATEA magazine). Greenman Rising will close the Saturday evening concert on Kingfisher stage.
